Keeping it local
We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.
Civitavecchia (Rome)
The seaside entryway for those headed into Rome for over 2,000 years. Its ancient ruins, baths, and museum offer your first taste of Roman culture.
Naples
From the ancient ruins of Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and of course Napolitano pizza — Naples is a name synonymous with Italian culture and cuisine.
Palermo, Sicily
Quickly becoming one of the world’s most popular destinations, Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is supremely original and authentic at every turn.
Marina di Carrara
With mountains of the purest marble towering over the city, any pic taken in Marina di Carrara comes with a marvelous backdrop.
Ajaccio, Corsica
Filled with slopes and centuries worth of history, Ajaccio also boasts art (crafted both by nature or in the baroque period).
Barcelona
More than just a late-night party town, the capital of Catalonia is full of tranquil, museum-lined mornings and afternoons sipping cava with gorgeous views of the Med.
